HC Deb 23 March 1948 vol 448 c312W
71. Mr. Prescott

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that fibre being exported to America consists of dope-dyed staple; and whether he is aware that if this fibre were spun in Lancashire and the yarn exported the dollar yield could be at least doubled.

Mr. Bottomley

Dope-dyed viscose rayon staple is not at present being exported to the United States. The second part of the Question, therefore, does not arise.
